17 Wing is also providing what support they can.

I know for guys coming into RCEME from the normal stream we award them the horse at the end of their training in Regt Coy.  As a formal way of welcoming them into the Corp.  OT's we normally hold a small parade for and formally give them the horse.  Until then we expect them to be in their...

Yes Accommodations can give you the number of the Rogers Rep for the Base, he can translate your bldg/room number into the info you need to give Rogers when you go to the Rogers store, either in Barrie or Alliston, and get your modem.  So that your jack is active in your room.

The real Tiger killer would have been the M26 Pershing, with the 90mm gun, but it came to late in the war to be a factor.  Germany had lost the war already by the time it came along.  There were a couple Tiger vs Pershing engagements...but not on mass.

I wonder how practical it is, to wear a mini skirt, while exercising the duties of a police officer....

Looks like a good movie....you will just have to ignore Hollywood making a Sherman into an awesome Tiger killing machine, when in fact only vast numbers of Shermans made them effective at all....but seeing 15 Shermans being destroyed for every Tiger doesn't make for an A list movie in the US :p

I missed this post earlier.  Yes Win7 runs on a CF30, but for some reason that is beyond my fathoming, the IT guys in Edmonton don't have an authorized image for a CF30.....I do now have one test case that is running fine with Win7, but I got the feeling they used an image for another laptop and...

The way the new version works is you create a new Tapatalk account(if you don't have one already) and then do a search for army.ca, and select it.  Then when in Army.ca, tap the More icon in the top left and in the menu, select login, then you can actually login to Army.ca, and it can remember...

Well since the British Forces are cutting numbers severely due to government direction.....looks like they have a valid if long mechanism to do so :-/

The Calendar has it starting 22 Sept- 12 Dec, and I think its safe to assume they are using the Training Plan from CTC, so this is a standard course.

It is not common for sure, but it does happen, I just lost a Vehicle Tech of mine to become an infanteer.  Some people just want to play with the toys and not fix them :-/

I don't think decentralized DP1's will be the norm, it's just a temporary solution to the pers issues in the Regt, in normal years CTC in Gagetown is more that capable of meeting DP1 demands.  There is no real cost savings, in fact it likely costs more as the Infantry School already has the...

While it is true that nothing is a sure thing until you get a posting message.  You are correct, I work at 1VP, and both 1 and 3VP are very short infanteers.  We are even running an exported DP1 Infanteer this summer/fall in the Bn.  And 3VP will soon be going from a purely light Bn to one with...

That would have to be in the 70's, using three pte hooks I would assume for Sgt rank is not something that was around in the 80's.  And by the 80's each Svc Bn had slipons that stated the exact Bn number, ie 2 Svc Bn or 5e Bn S etc.

There are also communities north of the base that are cheaper than north Edmonton/St. Albert and are all decent places to live, like Morrinville, Gibbons, Bon Accord, and Fort Sask.  And are all in the 20-30 min drive range.

Yes I think it was Monty that said calling a cadence was the sign of an untrained army, it's definitely not a Canadian/British Commonwealth tradition for sure.

NATO countries have all signed agreements to use standard rounds, like 5.56 and 7.62, that way we can borrow ammo from each others supply systems.  The only non-standard ammo in use would be for snipers and that is in relatively small amounts that it's not an issue for the supply chain to handle.

You are right as per the actual title of the occupation.  However my point was that there is a distinct  difference between the officer occupation that leads Combat Engineers, and the other officer engineering occupations in the CA/RCAF/RCN.

Just to clarify are you looking at being a Combat Engineering Officer or one of the Engineering Officer classifications like EME, AERE, Marine Systems Engineering?  Just asking as it seems you want to be in an Engineering job, but Combat Engineer is not exactly in the same skill set area, they...

The ribbons and addons to them you can get at clothing stores.  Sorry I can't answer your other question about the time frame for a replacement medal.
